Well, yesterday I had decided to cut a few things out of my diet that I have been slowly adding back in. The things that do not make me feel well anymore. Yogurt and Cheese. I love the taste of these two dairy products, but after I eat them I do not feel so well. They both make me keep extra weight on too. I can do with out that!
Today, so far, has been a bit strange for me. I know that it has nothing to do with what I am or am not eating quite yet...but as I was walking my dog at the park, I b…

Topic: Living Raw Foods
I sit here in front of my computer just after eating a breakfast of scrambled tofu and a piece of sprouted bread and I think to myself...Hmmm, I haven't been to GI2MR lately. So, here I am. The first thing I read about is that raw glow (the one I used to have) and I think to myself how I REALLY want it back.
So, I really want it back, huh? Well, then...why don't I just go and get it. All it takes is cutting out the cooked foods and filling it in with raw fruits and vegg…

This story makes me so sad and I hurt for this woman. 3 teenagers kidnapped a 75 year old grandmother in California. They beat her and stuffed her in the trunk of her own car and there she remained for 26 hours until a miracle and the kids were pulled over for speeding and the woman was found.
What the hell is wrong with people?? How did kids get this bad? How could one human do something like this to another? This is just so sad.

Does anyone have one? I'm sure you do...I really feel that I need one. How would I go about finding one? Research? Yes, i'm sure that's it. Lately, while I have been happier than I was a few weeks ago...I feel that I need some direction. Some spiritual direction. I try to send potivi…

I started today! I actually quit a job about 6 months ago to go to school full time and now i am finding that I just have all of this extra time on my hands and no money! One of my favorite places to shop is this organic market (the only one like it for miles and miles)...however, lately…

Haha..well, it's not really funny actually when you're a neat freak like I am...I am on day two of my juice/blended foods. I started out with the intention of doing just juice, but I realized yesterday that I just had to have something heavier, so I added in a few fruit smoothies.
But yes, my house is a mess because we let my brother in law have a bday party last night and apparently it went on and on hours after I had gone to bed. I just cleaned the house yesterday and I woke to pomegranate st…

Personally, I think that I am usually a happy girl with my off days. I am quite an emotional girl at times... but sooo much more this past week and no, it's not due to anything I can normally blame it on. So, I am doing a juice fast - not a feast. I am hoping it will be an emotiona…

Okay, so here I am on GI2MR and I am talking about something that isn't about raw foods...I hope it's okay, because I also see this site as very supportive and my mental health suffers because of something that happened 4 years ago. Here it goes,
December 25th, 2004. I was living in Florida at the time and I didn't have any family there except my Aunt Patti, who I adore!! However, this Christmas night I was out with friends having dinner after having spent the afternoon with my Aunt. This was d…

This is how I feel sometimes.... lost in the middle of no where. I can't seem to break bad habits and be good to my body and myself! It's depressing a little... I want to be raw and healthy and glowing! - but I go back to cooked foods all of the time. Alcohol too. I wouldn't…

As I cut up a tomato, shredded a carrot, sliced some onion, and dropped a few cubes of an avocado into my spinach salad I realized that everything was organic! This brought me complete satisfaction. I just feel great when everything is organic. Sure it's more expensive, but health is wealth, right?
Things are finally coming together for us to maintain

This is me (on the left) at an unhealthy weight... drinking too much, eating fatty foods, and very depressed.
I am really enjoying this raw food community. Health and nutrition is my passion, but since I moved I haven't had anyone to talk about it with. But, before I moved here to North Carolina I was living in West P
